+Subject: [PATCH] aarch64: Make elf_machine_{load_address,dynamic} robust [BZ
+ #28203]
+
+The AArch64 ABI is largely platform agnostic and does not specify
+_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] ([1]). glibc ld.so turns out to be probably the
+only user of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] and GNU ld defines the value
+to the link-time address _DYNAMIC. [2]
+
+In 2012, __ehdr_start was implemented in GNU ld and gold in binutils
+2.23. Using adrp+add / (-mcmodel=tiny) adr to access
+__ehdr_start/_DYNAMIC gives us a robust way to get the load address and
+the link-time address of _DYNAMIC.
+
+[1]: From a psABI maintainer, https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49672#c2
+[2]: LLD's aarch64 port does not set _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] to the
+link-time address _DYNAMIC.
+LLD is widely used on aarch64 Android and ChromeOS devices. Software
+just works without the need for _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0].
